TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of knowledge on atmospheric microplastics, the methods for sample collection, analysis and detection, and the recommendations for atmospheric micro-plastic sampling and measurement are reviewed.

TL;DR: This review introduces a coordinated monitoring and research framework and network to link atmospheric pollution and cryospheric changes (APCC) within the TP region, and provides an up-to-date summary of progress and achievements related to the APCC research framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors comprehensively reviewed the current status of knowledge on microplastics in soil on detection, occurrence, characterization, source, and potential risk, and concluded that large research gaps exist in the quantification and estimation of regional emissions of microplastic in soil.

TL;DR: The results show that microplastics are ubiquitous in the investigated sediment of rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, with an abundance of 2-5 orders of magnitude across different regions, and it is concluded that the consistency of morphological characteristics and components of microplastic between the beach or marine sediments and freshwater sediments may be an indicator of these interlinkages and source-pathways.

TL;DR: Following this first evidence of atmospheric microplastic deposition in a pristine location, it is necessary to reconsider previous studies on atmospheric microPlastic deposition and behavior in remote areas.
